LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) took out a rally after Friday prayers today. The rally moved from Nasser Bagh to Bhati Chowk, where PML-N leaders including Shahbaz Sharif addressed the gathered public and party workers.
Shahbaz Sharif called for Zardari to own up his corruption and quit as President, submitting him to public justice.
Meanwhile PPP leaders accused the PML-N of utilising state machinery for organising a political rally.

Shahbaz Sharif addressing the PML-N rally in Lahore said that President Asif Ali Zardari’s corruption had reached unprecedented levels and that he, his party and all his supporters would not rest till they drove Zardari and his corrupt friends out of the government.
Sharif said that in comparison to the projects Nawaz Sharif did in 1992 and 1996, building the motorway and Gawadar port, what project had Zardari worked on? He taunted the current government saying that during the time when Nawaz Sharif was Prime Minister, there was no loadshedding. While in the current government, it took public protests to get the government to release funds for fuel procurement and resume electricity supply to industries.
Sharif accused Zardari to look the other way when natural calamities such as the floods and dengue epidemic ravaged the country. Sharif alleged that the President chose to go globe trotting and counting his looted money in London.
Sharif rejected claims that he had used government money to fund his foreign trips saying “trips, accommodation in hotels of my self and my entourage used personal funds”.
He also dispelled claims that he was going to be purchasing a new helicopter “may he be cursed who buys a multi-million rupee helicopter when people are starving,” Sharif said, adding “I would rather walk, ride a cycle or a motorbike but would not buy a helicopter.”
Shahbaz Sharif claimed that those present in the Lahore rally, in Karachi, in Quetta, were rising up against Zardari and were calling on the President to resign and hand himself over to the public for justice.
“I make this rally a witness that people of Karachi and Quetta have stood up against Zardari . . . hand the government over to us [PML-N], hand over the money to us . . . we will hang you in the public square,” Sharif boomed.
Sharif defended allegations of corruption from within his own provincial government, which he heads, saying “I will not lie that corruption still exists, but I promise you that I have eliminated corruption from the top level of the Punjab government”.

A 1.5 kilometre area is completely packed at the venue now.
Sources say that Shahbaz Sharif has been communicated that there are a huge number of participants at the rally and therefore a go ahead has been given to him to give a tough message to the federal government.
Javed Hashmi, Pir Sabir Shah, Abdul Qadir Baloch, and Khwaja Asif will be helping him out in drafting this speech that may carry a "very strong" message of a nationwide movement to oust the govt.

The Express Tribune's Lahore correspondent Abdul Manan reported earlier that MNA Hamza Shahbaz Sharif, Shahbaz’s son, has been tasked with visiting all provincial assembly constituencies in Lahore.
He is visiting and addressing four constituencies on average per day to garner support. Party members told The Tribune that the rally is seen as a test for Hamza’s candidature for the post of PML-N’s general secretary.

A member of The Express Tribune's Facebook page notes:
Sajjad Gul One thing you won't see in the PML(N) rally, is "PASSION". and for God sake a rally on a main road will cause traffic jam, which automatically looks big crowed....
12:45 pm
PML-N’s rally today is part of the party’s ‘Go Zardari Go campaign’ against what it says are the PPP-led government’s three major failures: load shedding, rising prices and widespread corruption.
With rivalry growing between the PTI and the PML-N, today's rally is also expected to be a show of strength prior to the PTI's upcoming rally in Lahore.
The party members said that PML-N has, in principle, decided to topple the government within two months.
PML-N’s list of demands
PPP will be asked to:
1. Implement the resolution passed during the All Parties Conference (APC) on September 29
2. Eliminate corruption from the government and to take action against all corrupt officers and ministers

4. Appoint a neutral NAB chairman

@Natasha Suleman: I support PMLN for being the lesser evil. PMLN holds the best team possible PMLN has a Better grasp over economic issues , Ishaq Dar is a gem. & the biggest reason why i support Pmln is for being anti-army or anti-establishment. ONLY & ONLY Nawaz Sharif can ensure Civilian Supremacy in this country he can bring these generals to accountability he can ensure the civilian supremacy in Foreign Policy. This country cannot face Military dominance anymore No Not anymore. 64 years were enough for Khaakis to rule this country either explicitly or behind the curtains. You know why i hate PPP to the core ? because They are corrupt to the core , Incompetent to the core & above that they have surrendered their powers in front of army. Military still calls the shots in pakistan. as Long as there is military dominance in this country we will remain in this mess!
Thank you ! we don't believe in" free" food, we believe in free of prejudice mentality.that is rare.Period
Ikramuddin,
I hope you get some good free food on Sunday.
Assalam-o-Allaikum Warahmatullah.Now Pakistan army must has to take control of Pakistan by military coup for at least 5 years because Pakistan's current political set up's condition and unrest have been reached on its peak and COAS is only enjoying 3 years' relaxation and expansion in his job and watching all this as a silent spectator by saying these words "Pakistan army will never be the part of any unconstitutional activities against the democratic government" whereas common and poor man is dying of hunger,poverty,expensiveness and joblessness and government is increasing electricity tariffs on monthly basis and it shows that government is taking the most dangerous revenge from the nation by increasing power tariffs.
Due to the forgetfulness of the people these leaders flourish.where was the monetary help that comes out now after the death of so many dengue patients.why these monetary help failed to provide better medicine and care while the victims were still alive.couldn't these money be used to make hygienic conditions in that area better. Now a few days ago they were bragging to help the heirs of the dead by the monetary fund.It is very difficult for common people to know the real face of these leaders.Pakistan's destiny will change when literacy rate will increase,when awareness will come to the common people,when this nation will wake up to realize and recognize their self respect.All the embittering memories like beating ,killing by police while standing on lines for a "bori" of atta,a sack of "chini", wipe out from their memories when they hear the music of the pied pipers.actually they are not leaders they are in fact pied pipers, luring people from their music and people being hypnotized follow them to the valley of death ,never to get liberation from their spell.God bless the nation.
People were like walking dead....No enthusiasm, no chanting, etc....
i mean why don't u just focus on dengue, giving flawless results to students, etc rather that these revolution thingys...
Wastage of official funds... God bless Pakistan
We Pakistani are fool... We are educated illiterate..... none has even capability to bring Revolution in our system.... None talks about system.... if you notice you'll observe that every politician wants their own interests...for Example
Which things were most point out in Today's PML-N Rally? Simply "Go zardari go" means Zardari must resign.... Mian sahb never emphasis on crisis that we are facing..If we say, Zardari should go now it is enough... just think what will change become in our system? from the chokidar of the Government to the director and from the thaa'nedaar of Police station to the inspector general won't change and you cann't change them... you can't reverse the policies that is made by Zardari or was made by Muhraf...... so how you will eliminates corruption from our country?? Is it called REVOLUTION?? Revolution means "The complete overthrow of an established government or social order by those previously subject to it" or simply each and everything must be renewed in system.
It was Nawaz shareef who regretted to Mr. Zardari....He himself in 2008 said that in his regime he has made fake cases against Zardari and now see his attitude towards Mr. Zardari.
Let us take another example of Imran Khan....He has written in his book and also admire the Personality of Mian Nawaz Shareef and now he is targeting Nawaz by calling him " Dengue Brothers"
Hello!!! Nation!!!
I just want to say that DON"T FIND LEADERSHIP IN THESE POLITICIAN... FIND LEADERSHIP in your own personality that is the only way that may works for you, me, and for our nation.
Here is the one of the famous example...
See the European and American and other countries, millions of people are protesting against wall street... they have no leadership (except their own leadership quality), they have no politician..without any support their protest is increasing in sense of number of people's......
See the Arab Countries... Just like Oman, Egypt, and Libya every one knows that how these nations have brought revolution in their country.
I am just visiting from United States and in spare time follow some politics in Pakistan. Staging protest by opposition should be a welcome thing and should be encouraged for the long run strengthening of democracy in the country. Only thing which is kinda un healthy is rehtric used by both sides has not changed. Both the major parties use corruption charges against each other... Corruption is every where in the world. Only difference is developed countries dont take personnel corruption charges against each other to public rather such serious charges are taken to institutions ..so obviously both PML N and PPP failed to develop an institution when they were sharing power under COD. So i guess it is save to say they both need to sit back and let third party give such institution. I strongly hope such inst. is not created by ARMY ( Like they created free media ) and hope these politician do it themselve
Realist,
That is so not why youre supporting MLN. You are anti-tehreek according to my observation sir =p
And no I dont understand voting tried and tested losers against a promising clean person for the fear that PPP 'might' benefit because I made the right choice. 2018 kisne dekha hai bhaiyya? Kal ka pata nahin yahan.
Anyways, ofcourse it's your choice.
//MQM knows the decent ways to protest against any feudal group of political industries.Dont be so excited on this //
LOL. Decent way of protesting. Please dont talk to me about feudalism. Your MQM is taking to the street for 'na-zeba alfaaz' against your feudal president. Gimme a break. And keep these hypocritical sermons to yourself.
So now it's the turn of Revolutionaries Imran Khan and Mian Azhar! Long live the Revolution! :P
@Timely: first he has to pay tax, more than 5000 rupees this time
Someone please beg Shahbaz Sharif to stop singing Jamhooriat by Habib Jalib. He must be crying in his grave
It was a good step against the corrupts but now they have to achieve the goal by resigning from national assembly and by disolving the punjab assembly which I think is totally constituitional . And in next general elections its upon us (PAKISTANIS ) that which and whom we elect to rule us and our sweet Pakistan . Hope for the best !!!
Majority of PPP in senate and success of PTI are two nightmares for S-brothers if they fail to topple govt. before coming senate elections. Signs are such that if govt. announces early elections after senate elections in March, there is a high likelihood that PTI will emerge as victorious in the general elections. Their another fear is of loosing Punjab if parliamentary parties agree to develop mechanism for much needed creation of new provinces on administrative grounds for better governance. They are well aware of the mechanism given the constitution to remove PM or president and yet taking exta constitutional steps to topple a govt., people should make them realize that they can not make us fool anymore. I think Imran's phobia to both govt. and friendly opposition+govt of PML-N is a sign of change in Pakistan. Besides praying for Imran's success we should work for change in whatever capacity we can. Pakistan Zindabad
@Natasha Suleman: Chance at the cost of making PPP coming out as victorious in next elections? & you know that don't you ? This feud between PMLN & PTI will surely benefit PPP. I'd give one more chance to PMLN , will see IK in 2018 if PMLN fails!
JOKE OF THE CENTURY: I'll walk, take a bike, but never ride a new helicopter: Shahbaz Sharif Hahahahahahaaaa
PML N rally is the most boring thing I have ever seen. You can easily tell how little enthusiasm there is amongst the crowd. Fail.
@Natasha Suleman: Why don'y you challenge PPP .Money speaks for itself and lord leaders know how to burn a "few" bucks.Had MQM been from feudal class,and accumulated a lot of money from sugar mills and other illegal sources,even then it would not have ventured to show street power.MQM knows the decent ways to protest against any feudal group of political industries.Dont be so excited on this festival. .
doing an anti government rally while being in the government ............ strange ......... seems PML-N is toppling out
Realist,
They may be better but they have failed. MISERABLY. Why should we support failures just because Balochis and Sindhis are worse ? Give new people a chance. Three terms are more than enough boy!
Orangiwalay,
Oh please I aint no Nawaz supporter. Go read my comments again.
And about your MQM - you have been rightly rejected. You still dont know what that M stands for.
Great speeh Shahbaz Sharif
PML-N 1 PTI 0
Pml-N has more achievements than any other party be it motorways, Gawadar port, Coastal Highways, nuclear technology, IT and Telecom, Education, Poverty Eradication, and so on...
Vote for PML-N, vote for revolution
go for it PML-N we are with you..
This rally should be the last nail in Zardari's coffin
the numbers may have been great, but then we also know of people who were paid to come attend the rally! lol. pml-n followers can be so naive and gullible. and let's not even get into the speech...totally pathetic and not worthy of a leader!
Lions are roaring
Shahbaz Sharif please lead our country to prosperity.
Great work PML-N.. We want Shahbaz Sharif as Prime Minister
Excellent preparations Shahbaz Sharif nailed it. Suggestions: Javed Hashmi should have spoken. Missed Nawaz Sharif
Long way to go PML-N
Now that the rally is over, thank you for causing so much traffic inconvenience, thank you for shutting down the shops and thank you for making our lives more miserable by your "show" today. What did we get out of it? Absolutely nothing! I did have fun watching Babar Awan disecting the pathetic speech though! I can't wait to see what PTI does, and I have a strong hunch PTI will crush PML-N to the ground and come out victorious.
Great rally. Go PML-N, Go Shahbaz. We have already seen the successful projects from Sharifs like Motorway, Allied Hospital etc.
Massive Rally..Lion is charging towards Islamabad PML-N Zindabad
good mobilization by PML-N. good that they didnt go for early resignations. Political temperature is on the rise and with in a month it will reach its peak. General perception would follow them largely and PPP would diminish in entire Punjab. But PML-N need people from Sindh too a few MNAs and MPAs from PML-Q, PML-F or rebels from PPP would be helpful. Otherwise message will be a Punjabi ended sindhi govt. Or Nawaz Sharif removed a Prime Minister from South Punjab
Shame on PMLn for using public funds and doing corruption for the kake rent a rally
PTI wil do far bigger rally on 30th InshAllah.
You will see the difference between rent a rally and a rally for CHANGE.
The hype was created as they will able to get more than 60,000 people but its not more than 35-40,000 people.
The narrow street gives impression that massive jalsa. Poor Show.
Shame on PML-N for using government machinery ...& then they don't even want people to hear the truth thats why DUnya News was blocked yesterday...
@Pakistani: Yeah if elections were held on Facebook or some other net thingy.. PTI will clean sweep national assembly and all provincial assemblies
Who is Musharraf ? The name seems familiar !
Spot On Imran
@natasha Punjab Govt is wayyyyyyyyy Much better than any other provincial government. There are mistakes , no one denies that Specially in the Police department.
Shahbaz Sharif NAILED it! ENOUGH SAID!
Those motorcycles are fuelled with public funds. Regardless of the propoganda my perception is that the old school parties, that have been tried and tested time after time, are done for. Their time has passed and if any of them manage to win in the next election it would be by election fraud. People who are loyal to the country know who to vote for and i am confident enough not to even name that party :)
This rally has no value...we only need Imran Khan this time...
Insha Allah pml n will win with the help of Almighty Allah .
@Ali: Punjab is the most developed province in pakistan. Look at the infrastructure. ask PPP & ANP & Musharraf what did they give to sindh & KPK & Balochistan.
people are leaving back to home...because they came after getting money and cant wait to much
@Ali: I think you did not visit all punjab otherwise you did not say that
@saeed: PTI Famous means getrid off PML-N in punjab and in future no opposotion party for ppp
@haris mriza: I think in imran khan relly people will come by foot??
MQM,
//If you have guts come to Karachi//
And if youve got guts, come OUT of Karachi.
Realist,
And long live the kind of governance we've been witnessing since 2008?
Down with PMLN.
They were sleeping in Saudi Arabia in their castles after begging to Musharaf and now they are chanting slogans against democratic government....
Born of dictator, grown-up under dictator, shadowed by dictator and now again wants dictator to be in the rule again .....
Zardari should arrange rallies in Karachi,Peshawar or Quita if they thimk they are popular enough
Zardari and Gilani must go whether by Ns or Ik They had enough
ok, so rally is being funded on the cost of taxpayers money and ambulances are not allowed to enter o leave the area along the local residents who are stuck in the drama by sharif and the most corrupt brothers. buses coming to the rally from rest of the punjab are not paying toll tax like their leaders don't pay taxes at all. they are resenting imran khan who is doing no illegal things they are actually afraid of the shift in the punjabs urban vote bank. reman is right this time pp has more enthusiastic and true workers unlike hired clowns of pml-n. only MQM and PP are the parties with die heart workers. i would say that miyan sahab should take some lessons from MQM to get more die heart supporters without infringing tax payers rights and by paying tolls
Another topi drama..
somone needs to ask them:
what are they protesting against? against their own govt????? why they were sleeping (and actually waiting for their turn) for the last 4 years why do not they resign from assemblies?? when will they stop (if ever) using govt. machienary for their own interests? and
when will they stop exploiting misries of our people to win votes!?
Shame on these politicians.
We will have no one to blame except us if we bring these corrupt leaders again in power.
this MASSIVE crowd should clear the misconceptions of the people that Lahore is not with PMLN. LAHORE STILL is the strong hold of PMLN. Long live People of lahore!
ET reports: "PML-N workers coming to Lahore from other cities are entering the city without paying toll tax at Ravi bridge. Vehicles carrying banners are also not paying toll tax and are being facilitated by party workers."
This is the sum total of PML-N's culture. Don't pay your taxes, don't pay your toll. I guess the rally was supposed to be against corruption... wasn't it?
@Noor:
Response from D Brothers:
hmmmmm, no problem, how about Turkey. Hassan is already settled in Saudia and UK, we have to do something for Hamza now.
Yours CM and Mr. Mills
@Pure Pakistani: and also "none of them"
They could not do anything for the country when they were gifted with 2/3 majority, what will they do now when country in all sort of crisis and requires unity and consensus based solutions to the problems.
yes mush should come today court has issued his warrants with his buddy aziz.
@Mango Man: except they waited for almost 4 year for thier turn!
Countries are not Cricket grounds where New comers are allowed to open with the bat. NO place for Imran Khan!! he should contest union council elections!
yes PML n has taken a good step of getting rid of this current govt. And there will be no solution if they resign from their posts, the action of rally is good because they can lift up this issue in assembly and can dissolve the assembly which will lead to re-elections in pakistan. and PML n will really win a majority this time and PTI Imran khan is wasting his money coz he can not get a single seat from Lahore, it is the gar of PML n....
"Tribune correspondent Asad Kharal reports that three clowns on stilts arrive at the rally and earn some laughs."
Imran Khan gets in rock stars. They get in clowns. Whos acting childish now.
@Realist.: It is already successful. 1 km road is already filled up with the crowd.
Get real! You block a major road for 3 hours, the traffic jam will be more than a mile!
We are with you Imran Khan PTI .All the best for 30 OCT
What all drama is this?
Punjab's people respect PMLN only behalf of Shabaz Sharif because of his lot of work done, Other wise it is totally "Topi Drama"
People now really fed up of political leaderships. they want real change.people like Imran and ibrar ul Haq can fill the vaccume of leadership. i suggest we should give them chance if the y come with new but capable team.
motorcyclists increasing petrol consumption, now there is no shortage in Punjab?
O People of Lahore All my love to you. It is already successful. 1 km road is already filled up with the crowd. Jiye Nawaz Sharif! Long Live PMLN.
ET's report: "They add that there are more police personnel than supporters."
This says it all.
When the country is passing through many problems, our provincial govt. is wasting the time of this nation in useless rallies... We really don't work and want to work !
How many people are there?
Well Said Noor.
It is always good to question a Govt. it is what called democracy. But will Shrifs and PML-N tell their efforts which have turned the Punjab into a heaven on earth.
Enough of their Political tamasha's ... Insha' Allah these two parties have got no role in Pak Politics any more.
they r doing the very right thing. appriciated
We all know it is not "Go Zardari Go" but "No PTI No".
this really is just the wastaage of time.shehbaz sharif should utilise all their energies on lessening the miseries of people of punjab.he should not waste public money on these needless rally.they should invest these money on education health etc on the people of punjab.shihbaz sharif and his party shoud show political maturity instead of launching 'go zardari go' campaigns. peoples have a lot of expectations from shihbaz sharif and his administration.people vote for shihba shrif so that they could delver good governance to them not they vote for them to hold such type of rallies. so i request honourable shihbaz sharif to do not hold such type of rall
ies .it is just wastage of time as well as public money. thanks
Only 50 people gathered at Nasir Bagh? That's a pitiful number for a group that claims to topple the governemt. I wonder what happened to the patient stuck in the ambulance. I agree with Sajjad Gul's comment that there will be no passion whatsoever in PML-N's rally. I am not going to even count the 25-30,000 people already there for Juma as part of the rally.
http://pmlnsindh.com/
Musharraf is coming to pack you all. This time no refuge in Saudi Arabia.
opposition parties should join hand for collective show
Instead of doing this drama. they should resign from the national and provincial assemblies. They are protesting in the province they govern themself... what kind of hypocrisy this is?
We can already see: PTI 1 - PML(N) 0
add both option in poll.
I hope PTI geta live coverage like this.
PML-N We are with you go fot it
Ever since it became probable that Zardari will have another shot at Presidency, PML-N seems really distressed. Add to that its myriad of failures in Punjab, being cashed on quite successfully by PTI and a fear of army intervention. For these reason, PML-N is facing a paradox - to protest the current regime but continue to be a part of it. To protest issues like load-shedding but continue to look away from its utter failure of doing ANYTHING good in Punjab (a recent episode being the drama unfolded by the faulty checking of Intermediate papers).
who cares
its seems to be an anti-democracy relay...!!!
Now PML(N) is behaving like a good opposition.
